mordaedil
Super Nintendo is the right one.
mordaedil
Please, game designers. Stop inventing new buttons. Just stick with the SNES design.
apig92
So basically a playstation controller? because that's how it was born, same lay-out.
mordaedil
Super Nintendo was way before Playstation, so no.
apig92
... no shit. The playstation controller is a modified snes controller, playstation was born as a nintendo/sony collaboration.
mordaedil
Right. What was your point again?
gommel4win
*looks down at keyboard* I'm gonna have to disagree Op

Nothing in the world is more stupid than Nintendo controllers.

Anybody else still have half-a-dozen old consoles connected to an old CRT tv?

Yep. NES, SNES, Jaguar, PS1, Gamecube on an old Sony Trinitron CRT and anything newer (PS2, Xbox, PS3, Xbox360, Wii) on my LCD-TV.
SpecimenSpiff
I would friend you so hard if you lived close.

Substitute the Jaguar for a N64 and this is my same setup. Apart from a Ps3 which I never got around to buying. I need a Jaguar and a Saturn

360 best layout ever. According to a survey I just made up
LiruJ
I love the analog stick on the 360 controller because it makes sense, but the D-pad was completely useless for everything.
BurtMacklinYouSOB
did you know 74.34% of statistics are made up?
SpecimenSpiff
Best layout, I agree with. Too bad that d-pad ruined so many experiences for me.
Carlox
Dunno why but for some reason I don't have that problem.
Cheddar07
Pff, I play on PC with a PS controller while receiving XB prompts.
walterpeck
Now try playing a Japanese version of a game where they tell you to press O in every instance where you would press X.
dustygamedev
That did make it to the US with Metal Gear Solid and it's sequels. Was reaaaaaally confusing.
gamblingpoet
I hated that in Final Fantasy Tactics
BatsuitsNipples
is that just for games on playstation?
walterpeck
No, other systems used this to varying effect.
Krystal
In Japan O is the equivalent of a tick mark so it means yes while X is a cross meaning no.
walterpeck
Neat!
simonkey
That actually makes more sense
RevanProdigalKnight
It's always the blue one. In every one of these pictures.
AlternActive
Because not all of them have A B Y, but all of them have X. It was just for an example and the only shape on the PS that you can type on kb.
whatseventhepointt
O
AlternActive
Sure, now please point out where "O" is on the Xbox360, Gamecube and SNES controllers. Right. You're not very clever, are you?
whatseventhepointt
You said, "only shape on the PS you can type on a KB" and now you shift the goal posts and insinuate I'm not clever.
AlternActive
Also, there's no EASILY TYPABLE character other than X on our keyboard. Alt codes don't count since you'd have to know it, not google it <_<
AlternActive
It's called context mate. It's used all over the world. For comparison sake, allt he controllers have to have a common character. X is it.
UNRAVELINGTHEWORLD
Gamecube controller doesn't have a blue button.

I personally wouldn't consider it blue, but hey. Opinions.
S117MC
Y and x appear to be blue in the pic. Assuming that's what was meant
Katalliaan
They're grey IRL
S117MC
Good call
UNRAVELINGTHEWORLD
That's what I figured, but they're wrong. Upvoted you back to one, because your comment makes sense.
DirteeSantos
X is blue
DeltaBladeX
It depends on controller colour. I have a silver system and controller, and both the X and Y are grey, as mentioned by the other response.
UNRAVELINGTHEWORLD
No, it's grey.
DirteeSantos
In the picture above it is blue compared to y
Theothercword
I'm having horrible dress flashbacks.
RxGeek
And by the time I look down at my controller to determine which one is blue . . . game over.
Idsertian
Don't look, feel. Use your instincts. Let the for- er, I mean, the game flow through you.
Leifinator
press blue.
ninjagaidensigma
That's exactly how that works for Xbox/PC with controller games. The "X" is at the top, heathens!
jayol
Am i the only one that says the colour and not the letter when teaching people how to do stuff in a video game?
AR2713
as a Melee player, THERE IS NO BLUE!?!
Epicskunk
Both Y and X is blue in Gamecube controller.
sphelx
Which one is blue? D:
xWonko
that would be Z for NGC and while super famicom had color buttons, SNES didn't, was bluish-gray, or slightly darker bluish-gray
JuanTea
I thought the exact same thing. I feel less needy now.
FirstDraftFinalDraft
That still gets me on xbox because as an english/left to right reader I ALWAYS think the red "B" (for "back") should be where the x is. 1/2
FirstDraftFinalDraft
2/2 And red also usually represents "cancel", "back", "undo" etc...

My first console was a playstation, if I don't have an xbox controller in hand, I end up using PS buttons to tell people how to 1/2
jdavis1186
My first was the SNES, so I inevitably tell people ALL the wrong buttons on 360.
GotLeverage
My first was the NES so that was "a" "b"

do things on an xbox game. "Push the 'X' button. No the other 'X' button." 2/2

On xbox they are letters, on playstation they are shapes. So it's actually saying "press cross" -source im a qa tester and fun at parties.
FurryFeetys
As a developer, you're doing God's work.
idk332
The funnest
Paradigmthefallen
Plus the shape originally had specific meanings when the controller was designed.
cow042
Circle meant confirm and cross meant decline which is why the japanese playstations have reversed controls than the us ones.
kalamitykode
+1 for knowledgating a Sony fan that never knew this.
whyexactly
The cross really should've been the red one then.
Buckbeak1486
The circle button always looked orange to me.
OctoPlusNone
Red is a positive color in east Asia.

Red still means stop on their traffic lights
telepathboy
And square was meant to bring up menus...
Felman
Triangle was for camera (before an analog stick was added) if I'm not mistaken.

Camera, and at one point, I think navigation.

jonathantoast
GameCube was the best because each button felt different.
ThereWasNoMovieMadeFromOurShow
the gamecube controllers fit with the general positions you would have your thumb in. if you hold your hand limp it goes to the large a key.
lpooptoomuch
We called the A button the "Do" button
SwordSaint892
And that's what you play Smash Brothers on, goddamnit! :D
yomamaisonfier
I mean, to be fair, "up" "left" "right" "down" is pretty easy to tell the difference from...
InternalServerError
The gamecube itself was really merely an OK console but hawt damn, the controller was top tier.
StringVariable
Some games (mostly fighters) assume you can press any arbitrary combination of three or four buttons. It kind of falls short in that area.
Nialldt93
I read this comment in a little kids voice
Gadvance
The gamecube controller is the equivalent of a baby born in fucking chernobyl
rollercostarican
Really? I always hated the gamecube controller. I always liked the PS2 Dual Shock controller, and the Xbox One controller much better
DrRetroMD
Even more specific, the wave bird for the Gamecube is the best controller ever
No1v1
I thought gamecube was by far the worst controller of them all, even worse than bulky original x box...
thetonestarr
My only real complaint is the tiny d-pad and stupid-shaped c-stick. Two matching analogs and a large d-pad and I'm happy.
superblue64
I always thought it was the worst, the button configuration made for less diverse gameplay. Snes 4 life!
BirdsBeerandBitches
This is a seriously undervalued and ignored aspect. All buttons having a different shape as well as color/letter is so helpful.
killdread
N64 FOR LYFE!!!!!!
FleetFootFortune
How I held it
killdread
i usually held it with my hands on each of the far sides with the cstick somewhere i could conveniently press it into my body and shift
DisembodiedByTheGodly
The claw!
Paradigmthefallen
No, it was the worst. You'd hit A accidentally over and over. Plus the triggers were unresponsive.
superblue64
You're right
Paradigmthefallen
Downvote me all ye want, at least I'm not looking back on the controller with nostalgia goggles.
Kude
It fit just right in my hands, and the shoulder triggers made such a satisfying sound...
Mirawatts
They were dual action. Pressing them slightly activated 1 function, pressing it all the way triggered another.
Kude
Yup! I believe one was a digital switch and one an analog.

Too bad the GameCube controllers never had that long of a life span. My Sega Genesis and N64 controllers are still going strong.

Huh? My gamecube controllers are still in perfect working condition
orangessc
Please, my Gamecube controller I got from the box is still kickin after 6 years.
Spankatang
Awh man, I wish mine held up that long! Best controller configuration, but mine never seemed to last...
orangessc
Yeah, they always were my favorite controllers, and I just couldn't get used to the double-triggers that all the other controllers had.
whyexactly
And you can go more easily from the main button to the other 3.
BeerBatteredandBold
Absolutely , wierd how much sense that made
AnyRandomBob
I like the GameCube controller, but do you all really get lost using 4 buttons?
razetherunner
its not that you get 'lost' otherwise, the GC controller just felt so obvious and organic, eps. after that N64 fork-thing
ANGRYBATMAN
Always felt it was the best designed controller out of the lot. I know a lot feel the same way
CycloneSP
soz, but I always enjoyed the snes button arrangement. I felt that gamecube's A button was too large, and the B button too far from X and Y
whitechocolatethunda
There are dozens of us!
McDiezel
Try Dreamcast controllers
ThisAccountIsOnlyActiveSoPeopleCanUseMyTrumpGif
Those were perfect for hunching over and resting your elbows on your knees.
RxPro
That wavebird: felt so substantial!
ANGRYBATMAN
Yeah I could finally play from my couch without having to drag the console to the middle of the room!
giraffesaredope
I like it a lot, but that c-stick, d-pad, and those triggers are all sub-par. No single controller has ever gotten everything right yet.
ANGRYBATMAN
I would agree, but for pure button layout and comfort, I think I'd go with the Gamecube 'troller. Everything seems within such easy reach
SierraKomodo
The xbox 360 controller bested the gamecube controller for me solely because it was big enough to comfortably bit my hands xD
JaxAndHisLampPost
Xbox 360 controller is IMO the best designed. Gamecube always felt weird, esp with the C-stick...
Yazoo87
Xbox 360 and best designed? with that shitty useless d-pad..?!
PunPunlegreat
C-stick was a little awkward but i still liked the controller better in general to the 360 controller.
SSjay
It had maximum convenience and easiest use.
Alphamatter
The c stick kinda sucked though and so did the triggers, still better than PlayStation though.
demonjester1515
Nah. The triggers molded to your fingers near perfectly. The c-stick I can grant you may be a preference thing.
Yazoo87
For me it was Gamecube, Xbob360, Playstation, Jaguar, SNES, NES (in that order with the last two taking the crown for crappiness/handcramps)
willdrewest
You must have not tried the N64 then.
Yazoo87
never had one, never wanted one
Yazoo87
*xbox .. dammit
koinuchan
Atari 2600 for the handcramps.
sweatytelemarketer
Jaguar?
Yazoo87
Atari Jaguar. Ancient (1993) console that was competing with the Sega Genesis/Megadrive, SNES and later to some extent the PS1
sweatytelemarketer
I thought it was a commercial failure.
chaoko99
You have clearly never played a dreamcast or a saturn.. handcramps and a slew of bruises from both.
Yazoo87
Never had either of those consoles. Can't believe they're supposedly worse than the original NES handcramp/sore thumb "controller"..
chaoko99
It's the sharp ass handgrips that jut straight DOWN
moarf
DC handcramps?! One of the best controllers imho. Looks clunky as hell, but the design gives it a nice grip.
chaoko99
Must just have big hands then.. it was not comfortable
Yazoo87
The "looks clunky but nice grip" is the same for the Jaguar controller, despite people online mocking it.They've probably never held one IRL
SayaImgur
What, no Nintendo 64?
Yazoo87
Like I said in my other comment which got downvoted to -2 for no reason: never had one, never wanted one. Just didn't appeal to me at all.
Yazoo87
Plus, the comment with the "controller ranking" is only about the systems I've had / still have. Can't rate it if I've never used it.
PunPunlegreat
there now this one has been brought back up to -2 from -3 because people are fucking retarded.
Yazoo87
-6 points for just stating that I didn't like one ancient console and never bought one. God imgur is retarded sometimes..
IveBeenSlackingMyWholeLife
poor babeee gawt dunvotes....
flowseeker
Ah yes, perfect for my third hand
ANGRYBATMAN
It was innovative, but the control stick quality was poor and wore out easily with heavy use
ANGRYBATMAN
It was a big deal because having a worn-out control stick completely changes the gameplay. I recently replaced a stick on one of my 1/2
ANGRYBATMAN
controllers and it was like rediscovering certain games again, especially platformers (SM64, Banjo Kazooie)

You can get GameCube-esque replacements on Amazon for $9/piece. All you need is a #1 and #0 Philips screwdriver and 5-10 minutes.

DemographicUnknown
I was such a SNES kid that whenever I play XBox I STILL struggle because the entire right side of the controller feels ass-backwards to me.
kalamitykode
I play ps3 and ps4, my fiancee plays Xbox One. When I occasionally play with her I always have to look at the controller. RB/RT = confusing.
YamatoIouko
Just do this: RB=R1, RT=R2. Remember that, and you'll be great! :D

Right bumper and right trigger is what they stand for. Not so confusing when you keep that in mind.

SpecimenSpiff
Despite growing up with the NES and SNES (and still play them regularly), I automatically think of Playstation controls even though ->
SpecimenSpiff
-> I haven't had a new Sony console since the PS2. I primarily play 3DS or 360 nowadays as far as semi-new things are concerned. <3 the N3DS
Givemeabreak432
I mess up the nintendo controllers every now and then... even though they've had the same ABXY placement since SNES to Wii U/3DS...
pedrobrv
with the exception of the gamecube, it's the rebel child.
Givemeabreak432
Gamecube, Wii, and GB series, I guess. So I guess half of the controllers have had the same configuration... SNES, Wii U, DS, 3DS
flamingflamingo
I never owned an N64, but I know the other three. I recently had to play a PS4 after using an XBox controller for awhile, & it did throw me.
